Birnen – Nuss Strudel – Austrian Pear and Walnut Strudel

A wonderful Austrian pastry, allthough not as famous as it’s cousin, the Apple Strudel. To make the dough used to be a difficult process; it needed to be rolled out so thin that you could read a newspaper through it! Luckily, today we have puff pastry available; to make a strudel is easy as pie. Use pecans or hazelnuts instead of walnuts and whatever jam you like. Serve at room temperature, dusted with confectioners sugar and whipping cream on the side.

Smoked Salmon Spread With Pears and Horseradish

This is an Austrian version of a smoked salmon spread. Horseradish is very popular in Austria and is used in many dips and sauces. The salmon used in this dish is not Lox, this is slowly smoked Alaskan Sockey and is flaked rather than cut. Enjoy it with some crusty Ciabatta bread and a glass of fruity white wine.

L’ham Lahlou – Algerian / North African Sweet Lamb Dish.

This dish is traditionally cooked in Algeria for eating during Ramadan and on special ocassions. It is hardly ever eaten as a main course, but as a small dish after the main. This recipe freezes well. In my family, it’s only my husband that eats it so I freeze individual portions for him. I tend to play around with the recipe and change the fruit around and add a little extra liquid. This is just one of hundreds of variations of this recipe, I will post a few alternatives later.
